It would have been a great film if they hadn't tacked on an unrealistic ending, but that's a product of the times it was made in.<br /><br />I agree with Steve that the killer scene in the film is when he's trying to pawn his typewriter.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-89251971340306763052013-12-26T10:25:12.514+02:002013-12-26T10:25:12.514+02:00Thank you too.

That's the whole movie for me--that scene shows just how far down the rabbit hole he has gone and how close he is to bottoming out. <br /><br />I love this one, in no small part because of how well Ray Milland sells that role.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.com
